A Theory of Great Men

This is the humorous, fast-paced story of an irreverent, flawed man who has a talent for accumulating both protégés and enemies. George Cavaliere, a veteran high school history teacher, has many attributes of a brilliant educator. He's a vibrant classroom performance artist, his colleagues respect his knowledge of history, and he's popular with many students. Cavaliere is at his best when he's debunking the so-called ""Great Man"" theory of history, which maintains that the actions of major historical figures dominate the course of human events.
